There are various ways to find "weights" without paying much. You can use canned goods, jugs of water, water bottles, textbooks... You can even fill a backpack with your text books & use both arms for lifting to workout. The best things I've found indoors at college were jumproping, dancing around the room to upbeat music,…

This is absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for posting it, I'll definitely get good use from it!!!

I agree with dulceluva. I've only been living with my fiance for 6 months now & I'm incredibly self conscious. He's been my best friend for almost 6 years & I'm more frustrated with him seeing me workout. However, we work opposite schedules & I got into a routine of working out since he wasn't home. Now every so often he's…

Actually it's not the wedding or the goals that are getting to me. Really, I'm happy with my goals & they are not for the wedding day. And I'm very happy with my soon-to-be hubby. I think most of my problem is having an opposite schedule than my man, having almost no friends/contacts in the area & my family being so far…

Actually I've been trying to do things that make me happy. I treated myself to a massage & it was really horrible, but they comp'ed me a massage & that one was good. However, I'm still not relaxed & happy. I've watched movies instead of doing dishes because I needed time to veg...but that didn't make me feel that much…

I absolutely LOVE the videos! They are fun & that's really all I've done since I started on here. I've lost 10 lbs. I don't know how much it is to the videos, but they definitely help! I even got some for one of my best friends & she likes them too. My mom uses them as well. Every morning actually! They have great variety…

Ok, so I know that both these things are supposed to make a person happier...weddings & weight loss... I mean, it's self explanatory. But for some reason, both aren't doing a damn thing for me. :grumble: Lately I've been emotionally drained & I don't know how to even explain it. But I've just been so miserable & lonely &…

Boy oh boy am I glad to hear that there are people like me out there! I have struggled with my weight all my life. The last time I was at a good weight was when I was 5 years old, yes that's right, almost 18 years ago. I am also a chocoholic. I think that started when I was born, honestly. I decided that since I'm doing…

I now have a picture in my head that I may never get out... You're hot! :wink:

jbaranello, That is TOO funny! I hope you make your goal because sometimes the best motivation is pissing others off!!! :laugh: Great job at how much weight you've lost. My suggestion to help lose weight is to either eat a little more & work out a little more or change up your routine so your body isn't "bored" or in…

Ok, I'm pretty discouraged & crabby today. I went to get a massage yesterday to kind of treat myself since my back had been hurting & there has been a little stress getting to me from the wedding plans. I went for the first time since I moved here & it's a new place. A friend of mine is a member there & loves it! She goes…

YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can't wait to see you in it!!! For all of you who don't know, this dress is for MY wedding! Yay!!!

Hey there everyone :flowerforyou: So I'm getting married on April 18th & wow is it coming up fast!!! Just a month & a week now. I'm trying not to get stressed out because I gain weight when I'm stressed out. One of my bridesmaids actually turned me onto this site & so far I love it! We're motivating each other to do…

It depends on the day for me. Sometimes I do & other times I don't. I have 1600 calories allowed to me, so sometimes if I eat really good meals, I'm not hungry enough to eat an extra couple hundred calories. But if I eat things high in calories & low in filling me up, then I will... I drink a lot of water throughout the…

I'm having a Red Baron french bread pizza (5 cheese & garlic) & some koolaid! :happy: So tasty & really NOT that bad for you!!! I happen to do salads more often for dinner because I eat less before bed/after working out.

Well at least I'm not alone! It's funny how alone you can feel at times though. Which really does NOT help with the losing weight & becoming healthier. I need to lose weight to become healthy. The bad part is that I am like the pickiest eater ever. Rarely eat veggies & fruits aren't in season right now... I wish there was…

Hey there everyone. I'm new to the site. I signed up last night, so today will be my first actual day. I'm really nervous as to if I'll remember to log everything. I've got a lot going on in my life right now, so I have a tendency to slip up with working out & doing what needs to be done. I just moved to a new state, got a…

Ok I added you, now smile!!!

Everyone has just one of those weeks. Time seems short & life gets the best of you. Just chalk it up to a bad week & strive to do better next week! At least you're eating well instead of completely blowing off all your hard work. :) You'll get back on track! Don't stress over the small things!
